"combine that with certain tectonic shifts"
I don't see that as workable. Continents float like marshmallows in hot cocoa. To level the continents to the point where they'd be submersible would require, uh, an act of God on the largest scale. Then to raise the mountains back ... I don't see it.
In re uniformitarianism, the flood would have had to happen in human memory. Mountains, even the fastest-growing ones that aren't volcanoes, creep skyward at a rate of feet per century. It's one thing to claim that uniformitarianism might not have been appropriate half a billion years ago, but quite another to question its applicability within the last ten thousand.
If infallibility means, as you link, means "a sure, safe and reliable rule and guide in all matters", combined with inerrancy's being "true and trustworthy in all its assertions", emphasis on all, there is not much room to claim the flood as being either prehistoric or incomplete. |
